QuickTime files are movie clips that are saved in a format first introduced by Apple in 1991. If you have a library of QuickTime movie files stored on your office computer or server, you can make these videos simple to search through by embedding metadata into the files. This metadata provides your operating system with information about the files, such as what they're about, who authored them and who owns the copyrights to them.

Step 1

Open the Start menu and then click "Computer."

Step 2

Navigate to the location where your QuickTime movie files are saved.

Step 3

Right-click on a QuickTime movie file and then click "Properties."

Step 4

Open the "Details" tab. Here, you'll be able to enter various types of metadata about your QuickTime video file. You can enter a description of the video, a title, description tags and ownership information. When you're finished, click the "Apply" button and then click "OK."
